The council of Holgate has advertised for
bids to put in wooden fire cisterns for that
growing little town. On the right track, but
it would be much better to substitute brick
for wood, and build the cisterns large
enough. This has been the experience of other
places.

Big Deals.

Big Deals.
That Napoleon and Henry county are in a
good healthy and prosperous condition is evi-
denced from the fact that all the merchants
are having good large trade, better than for
years. The streets are full of teams ever
fair day. The people buy literally and the
merchants are selling cheaper and at smaller
profits than they ever did before. for the
reason that they can better afford it when
they have good large trade. Saur & Balsley
say they never before had as good wall pa
per and Oil and Paint trade so early in the
spring. They have an excellent stock and
fine line of papers of all kinds, including
many of the latest and most elaborate decora-
tions which the markets afford at less than
half the price they were sold at two and three
years ago. In the line of Oils and Paints
Saur can please the closest buyers inprices as
well as quality.

The Wauseon grist mill made shipment
of -four the past week to Richmond, Va, the
entire cargo being put up in 1219 pound
sacks, probably designed for the negro and
poor white trader as the flour was of low
grade. Thirty years ago the Shenandoah
Valley and the Piedmont region of Virginia
exported wheat in considerable quantities,
and the Touring mills of Richmond were just
ly celebrated as among the best in the coun-
try. Fulton county, then an undeveloped re-
gion and thought to be ill adapted to raising
wheat, is now, owing to drainage, improved
culture and first class milling facilities, pro-
ducing -four whose reputation is world wide;
the industry and intelligence. of the people,
overcoming the impediments of nature and
superceding more highly favored regions.
The shipment spoken Of is not an uncommon 70 2
one and is only mentioned as showing the
contrast between thirty years ago and now,
and as an example of what skill and enter
prise have done for this country. Wduseon

A DECLINING AGITAToR.

When an agitator such as Mr.. Henry
George can draw no more than three
hundred people in chief city of the
Union to hear him proclaim new gospel
of social reconstruction, he is on the steep
downward path to forgetfulness and re-
lection. That is what happened to Mr..
George last week on pleasant day in
Chicago. After great deal of drum beat
ing and horn blowing, the hall taken for
him was occupied in but one little corner
by the audience. He talked" however,
and as usual made lot of silly and illogi-
cal statements. For instance, he declared
that agriculture is neglected by young men
and women, because of the enormous ex-
actions for rental of agricultural lands,
and the robbery of men in agriculture.
That is twaddle; the young leave the fields
for the cities for no such reason, as Mr.
George well knows There are millions of
cheap and good acres to be had, and in good
localities too; but the rising generation
prefers the glitter and rush and crush of
the city. They prefer to be wage-earners in
cities instead Of wage-payers in rural parts.
